Just like every other SDE Surround Series release: yes.
No hesitation, no need to check out songs.
I have all the 5.1 SACD EJ albums and those have superb surround mixes. To have Elton's greatest hits all in Atmos on 1 disc is a winner for Paul @ SDE and for surround music fans.
Kudos to you, Paul, for this one. A superb choice!
Preordered.

Open question... Are these the same Atmos mixes that are on Apple Music?
For someone that absolutely loves how immaculate Elton John's first greatest hits release was, I am a bit sad that "Border Song" and the original version of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" aren't included. Of course, this is nothing to blame SDE for. I just really wanted to put together a surround sound set of the songs from that compilation.
That being said, this release might serve as a stepping stone to get some more of Elton John's unreleased 5.1 mixes out into the world.

Ordered immediately. Tomorrow, I'm off to Vegas to win some money for all these great releases. 
Big surprise! Ordered.
These sound great in DD+ Atmos on Tidal. Should be a treat in TrueHD Atmos.

Interesting reasoning but that also has inner artwork, which is the main reason I dislike the blue case for TFF - it obscures the pictures on the inside.
I swapped with Blur
My logic is that any SDE release that also offers video content is not strictly a 'pure audio' disc. So #15 Soft Cell, Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret is another candidate
Very excited about this release! Can't wait to hear Blue Eyes in Atmos!!

Never thought I would see this.pre-ordered!
I used to listen this Diamonds-Atmos in Tidal, and Greg Penny appears as Immersive Mix Engineer. So I would assume the mix is the same.
Listening on streaming, the fidelity and the immersive mix is excelent, although there is not much use of Tops/Heighs (only in some passages), the immersive surround feeling in 7.1 is very good.
I'm not a special fan of Elton John (I have a more prog taste), but expecting the fidelity will be even higher in the Blu-ray, I will pre-order it. Lots of songs at a very affordable prize.

Actually I just found where Paul actually said it was not supposed to be a blue case but it was an error that was out of his control and that the cases would be the usual Pure Audio cases going forward.

Instant order for me as well. Big Elton fan. WhooooooooHoooooo!
I will probably get this simply because of the price point and the sheer volume of songs, but the truth is I already have most of the EJ stuff that I enjoy in 5.1 and am happy with that. Half the songs here are from the 80s and beyond, which is a part of his catalog that I simply don't care for.
I more or less feel the same, but the opportunity to hear the 70’s stuff in atmos made it an easy purchase for me
